.@Vogue_Germany's July issue features 102-year-old Margot Friedländer, a Holocaust survivor. As a Jew born in Berlin, she lost her entire family during the Holocaust and narrowly escaped death herself. Her request is simple - to always pick love ❤️ #OlderNotOver

I love that Spain’s new National Care Strategy has been presented by an expert by experience who lives in a care home and who has been involved throughout the entire development of the strategy
💜 Amparo es nuestra mejor experta en cuidados. 🤓☝️ Lo es porque conoce de primera mano los beneficios que traerá la nueva Estrategia estatal de cuidados. 🏠 Ella vive en una residencia y esto es todo lo que nos ha contado en el acto de presentación de la Estrategia 📹
